What to Do After Arriving at St. John's

After you arrive at St. John’s, report to International Student Orientation. Remember, Orientation is required: you cannot register for classes unless you attend Orientation.

Documents to Bring
As soon as you arrive on campus, make photocopies of the following documents and bring them – along with the originals – to the Office of International Student and Scholar Services:

  • Passport identification pages
  • F-1 and all other U.S. Visas
  • Form 1-94 Departure Record
  • St. John’s University’s I-20 Form (if it was sent to you).
  • I-20s from all schools you have attended in the U.S.
  • A “Request for Transfer Information” Form (if it was sent to you rather than St. John’s).

Be sure to protect your legal documents. Make extra photocopies. Never destroy your I-20 Forms; keep them in a safe place.
